Attention to detail distinguishes these pants: full-felled inseams, yoke, and back rise provide exceptional durability, while seam-busted side seams lie perfectly flat for unmatched comfort. The back pocket features meticulous hand-stitching—no automated equipment—executed by highly skilled sewers in South Central Kentucky. Zippers are YKK, the branded Best Made shanks are alloy, and the back patch is a rough-out leather.

Our 12-ounce canvas marks a significant evolution in the 5-Pocket tradition. Pre-shrunk, this robust fabric delivers durability without stiffness. Canvas's plain weave construction creates a denser, more tightly packed surface than denim's diagonal twill pattern, resulting in superior abrasion resistance. The uniform thread distribution prevents snags and wear-through that commonly afflict denim twill fabrics, particularly at contact points. Triple needle inseams and bartack reinforcements ensure longevity at stress points, while the cotton weave develops character over time. Unlike raw denim, this canvas offers immediate comfort without sacrificing durability.

We chose a non-stretch canvas for a good reason. Our favorite garments—be it a rough and tumble chore jacket or a finely tailored suit—are defined by careful design and construction, not artificial elasticity. Without elastane or spandex, our pants maintain their shape where stretch fabrics will ultimately sag. Not to fear, after the first wash the pure cotton canvas will adapt naturally to the shape of your body, developing a custom character that only gets better with age.
